Chris Jericho Shoots on WWE

Recently, Kevin Eck of the Baltimore Sun conducted a phone interview with WWE's Chris Jericho. He, like Vince McMahon, thinks that WWE - more specifically RAW - isn't producing enough stars, and he criticized and shot at WWE pretty hard about that. Here's what he had to say:

"We’re in a crisis period in WWE and we need to build new guys. When Shawn Michaels came back to Raw, he said, 'Whose been built since I left?' On Smackdown we’ve built [John] Morrison and [Dolph] Ziggler and Cryme Tyme. The Intercontinetal Title has been rebuilt now with Rey Mysterio. But I can’t tell you on Raw who has been built over the last six months. They better do it soon, because when this generation of performers is gone, who will replace them?"

   Y2J to save the WWE... from the creative team! What he said was simply the truth. RAW (and with Raw i mean Orton, HHH and Cena's eternal feuds) SUCKS!!

   RAW: Santino, Evan Bourne, Mark Henry, Kofi Kingston, CM Punk.
   
   All those people joined RAW and have become insanely more popular than they were, all within around the last year.

   Well, Bourne, Kingston and Punk came from ECW at the beginning... But yes, Vince is right, they've became even more popular than before. And Vince is right... Because he is never wrong ;)

   An internet writer with another site dropped a line this week that summed it all up for me. Quoted:
   
   "And you just know the brain trust is sitting in Stamford going "We need to raid Smackdown for some talent, they're getting rave reviews!" NO YOU CLOWNS! It's the writers! You have the talent on Raw, you're just not using it!"
